Mestre Carlão supports Angolan Roots film

I just finished watching
the appeal made by Master Cobra Mansa about the campaign to raise funds to
finalize the film “Angolan Roots of Capoeira”. As the majority of us already
know, Cobrinha as much as Matthias have dedicated themselves, each in his own
way and manner, to the research of the art form we now call Capoeira (Angola,
Regional, Contemporary... this is not relevant here). I, and I believe, many
other people as well, are particularly interested to see a result that matches
time and energy these two capoeiristas/researchers have invested to conclude
their dream (paraphrasing Cobrinha). They are committed to finalize the film in
the best possible way. In other words, the project needs another small
investment to mainly conclude the edit. Capoeira as
well as we, the capoeiristas, deserve a product of high quality, not only in
relation to the edition, translation and other technical aspects of the
project, but particularly for a whole generation of citizens, artists, researchers,
capoeiristas, musicians or educators who are, increasingly, interested in the
interaction between the peoples, the diversity and continuity of the
traditional cultures of the world. In sum, I believe that a little
contribution, as small as it may be, will help to make real this very special
dream, which I think is a dream we all share.
